They say some days you're gonna win,
|
They say some days you're gonna lose.
|
I tell you I got news for you
|
Your losin' all the time you never win
|
If you believe that's how it's gonna be I'd better put you down
|
Get off your tightrope up there come down on
|
The ground you gotta save me now,
|
You better turn around.
|
When I looked around, I was heading down.
|
Won't somebody throw me down a line.
|
|
They say some days you gotta give--
|
They say some days you gotta take--
|
If that's the way it's gotta be,
|
Roll it over and you will see.
|
The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time.
|
The change from night to day is really only hours,
|
It's just along the line can't you see the sign
|
When I looked around, I was heading down,
|
Won't somebody throw me down a line.
|
|
I want to look you straight in the eye,
|
I want to tell you how I really feel,
|
I can feel the wheels turnin' round,
|
Won't somebody throw me down a line
|
The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time,
|
The change from night to day is really only hours
|
It's just along the line, can't you see the sign
|
When I closed my eyes, I was so surprised
|
Somebody had thrown me down the line--stopped me drownin'
